We'll cover top defenders, best playmakers, elite scorers, hottest shooters, and more! Today, we'll look at the area's best scorers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2528359"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68996fcfd7e8c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dion was lethal all summer long as a consistent scorer. He played with [program_tooltip program_id='2076976' first='District' last='Basketball Club'] across multiple events and made a statement with his offensive execution. Dion impressed as a 3-level scorer against some high-level talent. Had games where he was able to dissect the defense and score at every area on the floor. Got to the line way more as a slasher during this summer run. A lot to like from Dion's quickly improving game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2252275"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68996fcfd7eea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Karon is an improving scorer all-around for St. Andrews. The team will look to him to make and attempt a lot more shots to be successful. I expect Karon to step up to the plate and utilize his increased role. He can get hot from beyond the arc in a hurry, but I like the way he reads the defense off the dribble. You can see Karon is confident in his jumpshot from anywhere on the floor. I'd like to see him use his dribble a bit more to get under the rim and draw foul shots. Potential breakout year coming for the trusted guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782664"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68996fcfd7f31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boogie was electric all summer with Vito Special as they took Championship after Championship. He owned the MADE Hoops Circuit with multiple games of double-digit scoring. Tavares is incredibly quick and decisive with his handle/first step. He can breakout in the open floor and finish at the rim in the blink of an eye. Elusive with the ball in his hands, so Boogie can shift directions and pull-up or make a quick floater. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194773"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2931223,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68996fcfd7f73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elijah caught our scouts attention at DMV Live over the summertime. He was a pure and natural playmaker any way the team needed. Averaged well over 15 points per game during one session at the live period. Eli scored the ball very effectively in the mid-range area. Broke the defense down and got into lane with a crafty handle. Unpredictable offensive bag that gets him anywhere on the floor. [player_tooltip player_id='2194773' first='Elijah' last='McQueen'] is a name to know for this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2705135"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2931172,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68996fcfd7fca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan has been scoring at will since his freshman season with Avalon. Deadly shooter that can catch a hot hand quickly if you let him. Jordan is elusive with the ball and he put up big numbers all summer in DC. One of the leading scorers in his conference during the regular season and continued that momentum into the Live Period with Avalon. Deadeye of a jumpshooter that's comfortable inside and outside the perimeter. Interested to see how far his talent takes him as he was already a top scorer as a Freshman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
